Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows 10 Updated

Microsoft has updated their remote server administration tools (RSAT) for Windows 10 systems, and they are now available at their Download Center.

RSAT is a tool that allows IT pros and system administrators to manage the roles and features that run on Windows Server remotely without having to be in front of the physical server hardware.

The download includes the following items to use for this purpose:

RSAT requires Windows 10 Professional or Windows 10 Enterprise to run. The tools cannot be installed on Windows RT, ARM, or other System-On-Chip (SoC) devices.

These tools will run on either x86 or x64 bit versions of Windows 10 Professional or Windows 10 Enterprise. They are available in the following languages:

Note: Language Packs for Windows 10 are available for download.

Before installing this update, you must remove older RSAT versions. Any users who have already upgraded to Windows 10 must uninstall the old version of RSAT and install this Windows 10 compatible version on their system. The RSAT kit is compatible for remote access of systems that are running Server Core or Minimal Server Graphical Interface of Windows Server but they are to be installed on Windows 10 and not on the server side. (Here's a general primer for installing RSAT on Windows 10 systems.)

According to Microsoft there are current known issues that can impact RSAT's usage in certain scenarios:

Issue: DNS Tools missing
